Bet / you've often wondered what inspires the
lyrics to some of the popular songs. Here's our
answer in terms of oft-used quotations.
No. 15
"So he(e we are, in the Tijuana jail""':<'The
best-laid plans of mice and m~n oft go astray."
"Kookie, Kookie, lend me your ear"-"I
come to bury Caesar, not to praise him."
"John's in love with Jane, Jane's in love
with Jim, Jim's in love with someone who is
not in love with him."-"The more, the merrier."
"It took one kiss to fall in love with you,
and a million tears to forget."-"Women and
elephants never (orget."
"Goodbye, Jimmy, good-bye."-"Fish and
visitors smell in three days."
«In the good o!~ sum~ertime, in the good o~d
summertime . . , Vacabon; ~hree months of It.
Three months of basking in the sultry Omaha sun,
three months of snoozing 'til noon, three months
.' of luxuriously cruising around in that convertible.
But what else does the summer hold for you?
A job perhaps? To make money for college, for
that dreamy sports car, or for that long-cherished · trip to California?
And what else does summer mean to you perennial loafers! Nothing but three month~ of .noth'. ing? VacatIOn boredom, bound to anse m an
atmosphere of stagnancy, can be cured in three
easy lessons.
:
Third, read. Any well-qualified person will tell
you that the only way to become truly educated
is through extensive reading. Not just "scientific
stuff," but good, well-written novels. Not. on~y
will reading increase your vocabulary, but It WIll
· also provide you with an understanding of people.
So put on your "get-up-and-go" and make this
summer time a "funnel''' time!
THE BALLAD OF JOE SCHOLAR
Listen, my children, and you'll hear us holler
Of the valiant deeds of brave Joe Scholar.
One Monday morning, cold and damp,
Joe awoke with a terrible cramp.~
He struggled out of bed, barely, alive,
To find his temperature was a HUNDRED
and FIVE!
Alas and alack! To school he must go.
The disgrace to his name would be a ~rrible
blow!
To be absent on Monday. w~s. not allowtj;
He wOJ.Jld--.gain -the' scorn of his entire crowd.
...- 'He' bould not let down Miss Hawley's trust.
"Go to school," cried Joe, "I MUST!"
The wind blew violently; the snow blocked
. his way.
How he ma de it to school we'll ne'er know
to this day.
He reached the steps, full of pride.
"Hurrah for Joel" the students cried.
And then Joe died.
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY, PLAIN
TO SEE,
'
.
IS PLAN YOUR SICKNESS CAREFULLY!
I think that I shall never see
Two crazier people than you and me.
This column has really got to go;
Let's make like bubble gum and blow!
Judy and Cindy
The long-awaited day is here! This thought is
surely in the mind of every senior. However, we
should stop a moment and think of the real value
of our high school experience.
No two of us have derived benefits from Central High school in the same way. Some have
surpassed the minimum requirements by a sizeable margin while others have barely met the
standards. Each of us, though, through our accomplishments, no matter how great or small, has
obtained the satisfaction of completing a task.
As we set foot upon the various walks of life,
we must always carry this desire for completion
with us. With this desire and with our personal .
experiences over the past four years, we are prepared to bear proudly through life the memo..ries
and traditions of our schoo1.
Whether or not we have set an outstanaing
record in high school, we should not look upon
graduation as a finish. It is, instead, a step toward
the responsibility of adulthood. Some of us will
continue our educations; others will take up
trades or join the Armed Services. But no matter
what our station in life might be, we should always be prepared to do and defend that which
. is right.
With these thoughts I will leave you, wishing
you good fortune in your futurfi.

Dear Loyal Centnllites,
This year has certainly slipped by quickly. In
just a very few days we will all be tucking another
year of education under our belts. For some of
us this will be our last year of school; but regardless~ this year has certainly been a memorable one.
I am writing this on behalf of the five senior
members of the Student council. We \ wish to
thank the senior class and the student body in
general for giving us the privilege of leading your
Student Council. This has truly been an honor,
and I know that aU of us will always remember
our days on Council. It is our only hope that we
have done a satisfactory job that has met with
your approval.
Here is wishing you all good luck in your future
,
days at Central.

Have you ever · wondered who is
responsible for the correct spelling of
your name in. the O-Book? Meet Rozanne Siporin, O-Book COllY editor.
Rozanne's journalistic skill was demonstrated when she received first place
for yearbook copyreading at the Nebraska High School Press ASsociation
convention in Lincoln last fall.
"Brain" as she is sometimes referred
to, ranks fourth in the senior class.
She is a member of both Junior and
National Honor Societies and a Girls'
State representative during her junior
year.
Never one to shirk responsibility
Rozanne is active in Central's clubs,
too. Co-chairman of the Latin banquet and · chairman ·o f the refreshment committee for the Inter-American club are two examples of her work.
Although she has sevetal pet peeves,
ball point pens that won't write on
certain spots on the paper seem to
aggravate Rozanne the most.
This summer before leaving for
college, Rozaruie plans to spend seven
weeks workiI).g in the office of a
youth camp in Wisconsin.
Right at the moment, Rozanne's
aim in life is to seil more O-Books
than ever before (plugl).
The University of California at
Berkeley receives Rozanne's bid , as
her choice of college .where she plans
to major in arts and sciences.
If she continues to follow the pace
she has set at CHS, Rozanne cannot
h~lp but be a success.

Central roared into the second

dropping Benson High, 2-1.
Lefty Bill Horwich started tlle

the last two innings and got credit
for the win.

QJ:NTltAL HIGH I\BOIST • •
tehtral ;09 Class
Can you imagine yourself fifty
years from now? The graduating class
. of 1909 is coming back June 5 to
prove that they still have school spirit.
The reunion has many fun-packed
and interesting events planned. Some
are a banquet at the Blackstone Hotel
Friday night, followed by a luncheon Saturday, topped off by watching the 1959 graduation ceremony
Saturday night.
A $1,000 schQlarship from the class
of '09 will be awarded at the banquet.
These class members who graduated from Central, then called Omaha
High school, have many outstanding
personalities among them. One, called
"the white-headed statesman of the
advertising industry," is the retired
president and !;lOW chairman of the
board of the nation's third largest
advertising agency, Young and Rubicam. He is Sigrurd Larmon.
Another, Helen Hansen, was the
head of the California Nursing organization and has also written many
nursing education textbooks.
No Hair, Nor Teeth For Pin-Ups;
These Babies Are Now Graduates
Nineteen hundred forty-one was
really the year for pin-ups I It seems
that some of the fads that year were
white "bulky-bottoms," topped with
"dip-to-the-waist" necklines; bows on
the head (no haii--but those babes
had to wear bowsl); teeth polished
so white they vanished; and l ong
curly hair which hadn't been cut a
first time yet.
The judging of these pin-up babes
(and I do mean babes) was done by
modern-day CHS faculty. The "wild"
photos of these pin-ups were on display for all to see in the show-case
in the east wing on the first floor
of Central High school.
Miss Barb Ross was named "Cutest
Smile" of 1959. (She and Mona Lisa
have a lot in common!)
'Serve-and-Learn'
Motto For Teens
Rear Admiral Stanton Salisbury,
who was at one time head of all army
chaplains, Will also attend. The senior
class president of 1909, Howard Roe,
who ii now a judge in Chicago
Heights, will preside at the banquet.
Teenage students 15 years or older
wishing to add fun and pleasure to
their summer vacations may participate in the "Serve-and-Learn" Program" by filling one of the many
vacancies in a health, welfare or
recreation agency.
Local committee members are Dr.
and · Mrs. Lyle Roberts, Mrs. A. J.
. Sistek, Mrs. Frances Slater," Miss
Carol Howard, Dr. Abe Greenberg
and Miss Lucy Harte.
Out of a graduating class of 215,
over 100 are expected for the reunion.
In return for three hours to five
days a week of volunteer service, the
Volunteer Bureau of Omaha will find
the perfect job for you. Playground
supervisors, typists, artists and clerks
are just a few of the many positiQns
available.
Not only will this program add fun
to your other vacation activities, but
it will also present an opportunity
t o meet interesting people.
If you desire more information or
application blanks, see the office.
"Miss America" of the year was
Mr. Jerry Schwartz. The cute babe
with the how on her head (yep, she
was bald oncel) was Sharon Johnson.
Did you know that Linda Brayman
didn't have a single cavity for the
first three years of her life-she
didn't have any teeth either.
The judges declared Mr. Terry
Foster the "Most Changed" baby of
1959. (A lot can happen in a period
of just a few yearsl) The "Least
Changed" senior of '59 was none
other than Arthur Justus. Isn't_ it
funny what a little perseverence can
do?
Miss "Cutest Baby" of 1959 was
Barbara Smith. Congratulations seniors
on a wonderful class of pin-upsl
.Juniors . Prove Skill
10 Chemistry Test
Do you ever think you are as
brilliant as a college freshman? Last
week some of Mrs. Julia Buresh's
chemistry juniors proved they were.
Mrs. Buresh's chemistry classes took
a test designed as a third-quarter midterm for college freshmen at Creighton. The average score for the freshmen was 70.
Ronnie Greene bettered the average by five points with Bruce Buckman close behind. Other top scorers
were Dave Weddle, Bettie Gutmann,
J arne Guss, S.teve Soule and Dean
Thomas, respectively.
Mrs. Buresh commented that since
this test was made for students advanced two years and for a different
text, these junior did very. well.

In spring a teen-ager's fancy
turns to travell In Room 335
thoughts drift from the conjugations of "chercher" to the sidewalk
cafes on the Champs Elysees. The
senors and senoritas in 313 dream
of trying out their Spanish on real
Pedros and Chiquitas in sunny
Spain. And the cheerid chaps studying English History picture
tIi.emselves being presented to
bonny Queen Elizabeth.
For some lucky few these dreams
will come true. However, for the
rest of us who can travel only as
far as the backyard; a trip to
BRANDEIS will inspire our
dreams. In fact, your trip around
the world won't even take eighty
days; for you can go 'round the
world in eight outfits from
BRANDEIS.

quick peek at Big Ben, and what
could be better for "foggy London town" than a raincoat by Debutogs? These coats - costing only
$17.95--come in a variety of colors, including the latest floral designs. Even the linings of these
fashion favorites are designed with
the latest styles in mind.
Now on to Paris, the "city of
enchantment." Through sunny days
and moonlit nights, you'll charm
-any Frenchman in your high-fashion polka-dots-even noted dress
designers will take notice of the
charming American in this creation
by Modern Jr. The cool pastels
with white polka-dots have a bib
of feminine white lace and are of
thin, silky cotton, made famous in
France. However, the prices are
strictly American-$17.95.
Tiptoe Through the Tulips
Perfect for wandering through
the tulips of Holland is the simple
cotton fashioned by Wendy Woods.
This white dress is embroidered in
tulip colors of red and green. It
has a sleeveless top designed for
cool comfort, narrow belt created
to emphasize the waists of all Holland-bound dreamers and a price$9.90-suited to the pocketbook.
For the boys who are travelminded, MacGregor has made the
perfect jacket, whether you plan
to climb the Swiss Alps or the Nebraska sandhills. This zipper jacket
